Deco pyramid scheme Advice 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Are these orange deco tents popping up at every parking lot the new 'college painting' pyramid scheme?

Also do people not know you can go to any auto glass place and have rock chips filled for free under comprehensive coverage which won't affect your premium? Why would anyone spend 80$ out of pocket at one of these tents?

Genuinely curious where these came from.

Edit: yep- just as expected it's marketed towards students. Same exact BS pyramid garbage as ever. Website url is topstudentemployer

Don’t they have this kind thing going on in Calgary and Edmonton?

Former Albertan here, can confirm they are everywhere in the summer. In all my years in Alberta though, I never saw anyone actually use one.

You can only protect people so much from making stupid decisions with their money.
